Question

When you are sick and have taken antibiotics to kill the bacteria it will kill all of the bacteria including the bacteria in your intestine. Why is the loss of the bacteria in your intestine not beneficial to you? What kind of a relationship is that and how does eating yogurt help you?

Answer 1

There is good bacteria and good bacteria. Unfortunately antibiotics kills both and completely flush everything out of your system. You would think this was beneficial but it isn't. It takes about seventeen months for your body to rebuild your immune system. This causes you to be more susceptible to getting sick because there are now no good bacteria warriors to fight off the bad bacteria that will make you more sick. Eating yogurt helps because it has a lot of pro-biotics that will help build up natural antibodies in your immune system to fight off all of the foreign bacteria in your body.

Answer 2

Loss of bacteria in your intestine is not beneficial to you, because it helps neutralize harmful substances, discourages "bad" bacteria, and also stimulates the digestive process

hope this helps
